Replying to myself to clarify my nomination here since several people are pointing out the drama that came up regarding MMM - and that is not unexpected.
However, this is about the Community of the Year. Not Moderators of the Year. Despite the fact that there were some controversial internal struggles that went on over there this year (on which I take no side - I leave that to the people involved), IamA was hands down my most frequently visited subreddit this year. Tons of interesting conversations came from the posts (whether they were trolls or not) and people, including myself, learned a lot about other people's lives - what they do for a living, what they suffer with, what hardships they have overcome etc. To me, that just screams Community of the Year.
25
Why didn't you just edit your previous comment?
-1
I didn't want to distract people who didn't know or didn't care about the controversy.
13
I do really appreciate IamA. I'm torn because there have been so many gracious, insightful posts, but I also feel that MMM behaved incredibly inappropriately and I don't want to see him rewarded.
9
The community itself is the one getting rewarded. Moderators are glorified janitors... without the support and contributions of users, it wouldn't be the community that it became. I didn't add any value, so there's no reason I would be personally satisfied if IAmA placed well on this list... only regrets for it not being higher on the list.
38
If that's how you feel, then I applaud you. However, statements you've made in the past directly contradict these sentiments. If you've turned a new leaf, congratulations.

Everyone got their knickers in a twist, just another internet drama about mods vs gods.

A scam artist paid him to verify his iama so he can make money off us.
(I don't really know. This is a guess.)

Ugh. Can we let this drop already? Internet drama is so middle school. Even if people made mistakes or even if they were outright dicks (and I'm sure the blame lies on both sides) let's all just GET OVER IT. Move on. Presumably we are all out of middle school, so let's act like it.
10
I'm 12 years old and what is this?
8
Relevant meme is relevant.
3
I question how many people are legit there. It seems like one big troll down
9
That's my concern. Some of the best and worst of the community is in r/IAmA
7
Who knew how many interesting medical conditions, professions, and hobbies there were on Reddit?
1
IamA and SecretSanta both deserve it.... such a tough call.
1
I agree - I actually upvoted several in this thread - IamA, SecretSanta and TIL.
2
I do really appreciate IamA. I'm torn because there have been so many gracious, insightful posts, but I also feel that Saydrah behaved incredibly inappropriately and I don't want to see her rewarded.

I agree.
1
I disagree. With all the crap that happened there this year to MMM I just can't upvote this.
edit: downvote me i dont care, you know it's an issue.
-19
Nice try, MecurialMadnessMan.
16
I feel like I missed out on some drama :(
3
You really didn't "miss out", trust me. Just enjoy IamA and be glad of your ignorance.
3
You missed some moderator of IAmA being pissy and leaving. That's it.
3
LOL
1
So BECAUSE he was involved and didn't get to be a moderator, you're going to say that IAmA isn't the best reddit of this year...?
1
I'm going to say that it loses my vote for two reasons:
-
Because both MMM and others could have handled the situation much more maturely. It really made the who IAmA subreddit much more, I dunno, dirty feeling...
-
Because I'm a fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu mod, and love it so much :)

r/trees is my favorite place on reddit. I always feel like I'm amongst friends and there is always an interesting article about legalization, something silly someone saw/thought of while high, and there is no hating. Everyone gets along. If we don't like something we just don't upvote.
I've always been an outsider of sorts and at r/trees I feel like I'm a part of something great.
55
Sounds like we need an r/AtheistsInTrees :D
20
Why are people downvoting this? I'm an atheist who doesn't subscribe to r/Atheism because the people there are jerks. We could use a "________ in trees" version of just about every subreddit
24
Ouch, that's a little mean. I'm on r/atheism and I don't think I'm a jerk.
15
you're a jerk for calling others who you don't even know jerks.
10
I like the "_ _ in trees" tag...

Because religious people irrationality fear atheists?

I always feel at home on r/trees and the #weedit channel

I vote for r/trees as well!
10
[2] The only subreddit that actually feels like a community. IAMA + secretsanta were great ideas, but the feeling of togetherness in trees is there for all to see. I think maybe even b34nz would be welcome if he were to offer an apology.

Agreed, if it was subreddit of the year then I would vote for IAMA, but not for community of the year.

because they are not total bigots even though they are not an lgbt community :)

Everyone is always nice on Trees. It is awesome.

smoke weed everyday! and vote for trees as the best subreddit!

/politics is too depressing (not that this is Reddit's fault). /Science, /Atheism, and /Economics are pretty awesome; however, my vote goes to r/trees!

r/trees means I'm never smoking alone. Hell, I finally signed up for an account after reading reddit since 2005 just to make this comment.

You should head over to trees and introduce yourself.

I can't look at this subreddit without being reminded of this comic.

Trees has to be one of the lamest communities. People there post a number next to their comments to indicate to the other idiots how high they are. Wow that's cool.
-25
Then don't join and vote for a different subreddit.
27
this, the beauty of reddit. (and why r/trees was born if anyone remembers correctly)
6
Look past the numbers to how nice everybody is there. Everybody is encouraging, excited, and engaged in a healthy dialogue that promotes sensible drug use.
Clearly you have never been to r/trees and stuck around. You would realize how nice we are. We are not lame, we are not idiots. We're just different. If you don't have anything constructive to contribute, please don't contribute.
17
You're right. I like trees! Sorry stoners!

This. Along with my Y chromosome, I love TwoX. It's one of the few subreddits where everyone seems respectful, and friendly, basically all the time.
21
I've really never experienced respect in TwoX. I've only ever jumped into more controversial topics, but I like to think that I've always conducted myself respectfully, even if I'm not representing the view that the TwoXers themselves agree with.
I've been met with downmods, disrespect, outright insulting, etc.
It's sad, but I've written the subreddit off as silly reactionary ranting with a dark undercurrent of misandry at times.
Maybe it's more than that - better than that on good days - but try playing the devil's advocate there some time, try holding a rational and logical position and watch as the friendly respect turns into scathing antipathy.
Or maybe I've just happened to meet the mean TwoXers in my time. /shrug
-8
I just went through the last month of your comments and found zero comments in TwoX. I did find you being quite abrasive in other communities, including several instances of "fuck you" and various other insulting, condescending posts. To be fair, I also found several insightful comments which I had already upvoted in one thread or another.
If you were so poorly received in TwoX that you got enough downvotes to delete your comments, I somehow think you were not conducting yourself respectfully, even if you believe you were.
"Playing devil's advocate" is often just a longer way to say "trolling."
11
I haven't been back in a while.
I just did a google search for betterth site:reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes and came up with the post that when I wrote that above, I was thinking about.
While my posts garnered much negative karma at the time, it seems months later that they ended up slightly positive. I hadn't realize that -- at the time, the second to last post I made on that subject was one of my favorite posts I'd ever made on reddit and the person I was talking with was just horribly disrespectful throughout the conversation.
In fact, it seems the only post of mine on that page that is still negative is the one where I disagree with you personally. :P
I rescind my admonition then, at the time I was downvoted a decent bit, showing me that not only was the person who was replying being disrespectful, but the community itself (at least those readers) agreed with her and saw fit to downvote me,.
C'est la vie, I should have checked before I posted this.
3
but try playing the devil's advocate there some time, try holding a rational and logical position
Disagreeing for disagreements sake is not rational. Particularly not if it is done in a way that produces scathing antipathy.
7
To be fair, I have never gone there and played the devils advocate. I have always espoused a view I feel is correct. And I have always been met with disrespect for that.
1
Actually, I have had a similar experience with twoX; most "male-ish" perspectives, or merely just any perspectives from males, are usually just met with down-votes and contempt(Except maybe for the few occasional "I'm a man and I think boys are dumb and girls rock!" posts) while women, whether they post absurdities or fair-minded arguments, are almost always met with excessive up-votes. But I guess it's really to be expected, it's hard not to have gender bias from any gender driven sub-reddit.
Edit: Hey, down-votes. Way to prove my point guys.
-3
It's cool, and interesting, that you submitted both this (to which my fiancé is subscribed) and this.
Edited to add: Interesting because TwoX seems to be a place of empowerment, and your posts on the other subreddit seem to be divergent from that. Not that I disapprove or anything.
Much later, edited to fix: Ooops, she's not my "girlfriend", she's my fiancé.
2
2XC is empowering? I see it as more a "finally! A community of intelligent women I can be girly with!" Have you ever stopped by a women's forum? They can be unforgivably... something. Terrifying. But sometimes it's still nice to discuss shoes, or birth control, or whatever, with intelligent women. It was designed more to be a girly enclave, than a pure feminism subreddit (since there's already r/feminisms and r/women).
Not that I'm not a feminist. I do consider myself to be one. And part of feminism is a women's right to embrace whatever form of sexuality is most appealing to her. It could involve sleeping with no one, or everyone. Being dominant, or being submissive. And being able to embrace my submissive tendencies does make me feel some strange sort of empowerment, in that I can finally be... me.
30
I don't believe that empowerment for women is equivalent to feminism. What I mean by "empowering" is that it leverages Reddit (often viewed as male-dominant) for topics of interest to intelligent women. This may involve trivialities like shoes, or life-changing decisions like birth control options.
I guess, what I mean is that it doesn't necessarily empower the woman, but it empowers women in general. An organizational tool like Reddit creates strength through shared knowledge and interests.
This obviously has an effect on the woman indirectly, and that's where I see the contrast in your interests, but it's certainly not the purpose of the subreddit itself.
15
Ah, right, I see what you mean.
8
What I mean by "empowering" is that it leverages Reddit (often viewed as male-dominant) for topics of interest to intelligent women.
Reddit is male dominated? I always thought it was more of a coherence of male and female interests. I also don't understand the incessant emphasis of intelligence on 2XC. Any intellectual subreddit or community worth its salt would be evident in the content that it produces and not in a silly slogan or reminder.
-5
I wrote a long ass message then I thought screw it, so in short I support what you is sayin.
7
2XC rocks, that is a fact.
7
It was designed more to be a girly enclave, than a pure feminism subreddit (since there's already r/feminisms and r/women).
You'd think, from the name, that r/women was originally supposed to be more of the "girly" - ok, "womanly enclave". :s
1
Sometimes giving up power is very empowering.
Err...that sounds illogical, but that's my experience of it, anyway.
8
Oh don't worry; it isn't that I don't understand.
It's just cool and interesting. :)

But didn't we lose a few redditors in 2009 ? I remember the post by the woman and then the post by the guy who was the SO of the woman after she killed herself.

What does that have to do with whether r/SuicideWatch deserves a win this year? Are you saying it doesn't because someone wasn't saved?

vote for Suicidewatch

A bit late but r/SuicideWatch definitely deserves it!

This should definitely get an award of some sort. It isn't mainstream on Reddit but CarlH has done an enormous job on this one.
I think this is the most valuable thing in Reddit in 2009.
14
biggest community contribution? He gave so much, it's amazing.
13
Agreed.
Its turns reddit into another type of resource.

TIL is the tag on headlines I look for first. Some of the best stuff on reddit is in there.
12
TIL has some great stuff, but I wish there was a general consensus on what fit/does not fit, and less complaining about it.
4
Personally, I agree. I have been receiving a lot of feedback from people. Including us not including any wikipedia links (which I am personally against, but if there's a common vote, we'll make it so). I need more input on what you guys see as legitimate, and what you don't (via FLAGS). I (along with every other mod) do take everything into consideration - and if you guys want to get in touch with us quickly, we're all on IRC at some point or another (or I can reach some mods via phone).
We're definitely open to suggestions, and thus far, I have only received a couple personal messages suggesting actions. With that said, I'm open to your opinions and DEFINITELY encourage you to message me or any other mods. I'll make my contact information more available in the sidebar, so you can reach me.

I can't believe how r/whalebait has grown into the vibrant community that it is today... ever since that first post about epic whale mating rituals...

r/anarchism For successfully applying anarchist principles to the moderation system. 49 Moderators and growing.
88
Shouldn't everyone be mods?
12
Ideally yes. However, because of the limitations of reddit that isn't possible. What I would really like to see happen is for Admins to make a few small changes so that the sub can function on consensus.
Some of the other Anarchists seem to have really good ideas for improving the sub, but their technical jargon is so far beyond me that I couldn't begin to describe it.
Anyhow, if the Admins (wink wink) would consider making some small arrangements to accommodate our social ideological perspective, then further discussion would be needed to decide how to proceed.
Don't get me wrong. Reddit and its Admins are awesome and are in no way, shape, or form obligated to make special accommodations to us or anyone else. After all if we were that displeased with how things are running now, we could just make our own site.
In short, we're redditors and love being here. Hopefully a day will come when the Admins will allow us to act collectively considering the anarchist perspective on Authority and Solidarity.
As far as I know, none of us have even contacted them in this regard. Partly because we haven't yet had an issue with the moderators, which is amazing considering the amount we have, and because we would need to discuss it further.
Oh, if any of you admins read this and are up for discussion with no expectation of obligation on our part, I'm sure a thread would get fired up fairly quickly.
Great question Bevan!
22
Oh, if any of you admins read this and are up for discussion with no expectation of obligation on our part, I'm sure a thread would get fired up fairly quickly.
I support this.
3
I think I have a solution that just might work.
If the reddit admins don't accommodate the technical challenges of making everybody a mod, you could come up with some kind of system where certain moderators can represent large groups of non-moderator redditors that have subscribed to the subreddit. The mods can be chosen by popular consensus of the subscribers which I suppose could be determined by counting the individual preferences of the subscribers for each group. Then the 49 mods, or whatever the maximum number is, can meet regularly and debate over whether to take certain actions that the subscribers have communicated to the mods that they would like to see take place. In order to ensure that the 49 mods don't abuse the privilege of representing the subscribers, perhaps a coalition be appointed, again by popular consensus, to draft some rules that all mods will be bound by. We can have each moderator swear to abide by them and perhaps set up some kind of tribunal by which mods that abuse their privileges can be taken to account.
what do you think?
2
The biggest problem, as it stands, is that any one mod could simply remove all the mods. I don't see how your suggestion would change that aspect, which seems like the biggest threat to the sub. Either way, good ideas that could be expanded on. However, imho, I believe the ove all goal should be to give equal power to all without any one person being able to mess it all up at a moments notice.
1
Ideally yes. However, because of the limitations of reddit that isn't possible.
Oh my god, don't tell the anarchists you're letting practical considerations get in the way of ideals.
-3
Case and point. When considering our ideas, it isn't practical at all.
1
On the contrary. There should be no mods.
0
Not really. Anarchism does not mean "no rules" and without some way to enforce those rules (i.e. consensus, voting etc) they might as well not be there. In our specific case, we still need some way to remove spam and restore ham.
14
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of the ideas behind getting anarchism to work that everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions by everyone else? Without mods, nobody would be held accountable for their actions (except via the "report" button and voting).
6
Noticed no one corrected you? =)
3
wow. there's 35 downvotes on this comment as of right now
5
How do you see downvotes?
Not very surprising unfortunately.
6
At the time of writing up vs down is 121|51.
For comparison, at random:
r/atheism has 189|89 r/LGBT 120|49
The ratio for r/anarchism is pretty normal, there are even many with a less favourable ratio, taking a glance around. I recommend following skobrin's link and installing the script for greasemonkey, it can provide some interesting surprises.

How many on average do the other submissions have? Do we have a far higher percentage?

Oh god no. r/Atheism is, in a single subreddit, everything that is bad about reddit, with very little that is good. It's a terrible polar community and it's very difficult to experience any kind of rational discussion or feel any kind of acceptance there without explicitly accepting the common tenets of the group. Very unwelcoming bunch of people.
1
You are welcome there. I have never seen any of what you describe. r/atheism is no worse than r/Politics or any other polarizing community.

1
Looks like someone got sand in their vag.
BTW, religion is stupid.
3
I like how even mentioning this has them all downvoting you.
"We're not unwelcoming of discussion! Downvotes for you!"
Makes me remember the time somebody posted in DAE, "Is anybody else annoyed of evangelical atheists?"
"We're not evangelical!" posts in r/atheism to come downvote all of the submitter's comments "Let's prove we're not evangelical by downvoting all of the views that say they don't like the evangelical breed of atheism!"
The mere fact that you can't say you dislike some atheists without them presuming you mean 'all atheists' is telling enough.
5
I understand that you've read this in other comments, so it's easy to repeat it, but rational discussion is generally the norm from my experience. There are submissions all the time from theists and they are always treated with respect and responded to rationally. Can you go to r/Atheism right now and show me some examples of what you're talking about?
1
You're delusional. I don't mean to be insulting, but you're literally insane. To imply that a creationist would be anything but ridiculed in r/atheism is just ridiculous. For example, do a google search for betterth site:reddit.com/r/atheism
Click on any link that is voted above +20. Most, if not all, are hateful, chastising posts that demean Christians specifically. (I have made mistakes, I regret my actions, but that doesn't change the fact my mean-spirited insults were highly upvoted).
I don't feel like perusing through page after page of r/atheism right now, trying to find the single creationists non-troll. They're rare because they've all been scared off, and I'm a little (lot) drunk.
I'll give you the same task: Find an example within the recent past where a creationist was given upvotes and respect for espousing an opposite view in r/atheism.
1
There are submissions all the time from theists and they are always treated with respect and responded to rationally.
To imply that a creationist would be anything but ridiculed in r/atheism is just ridiculous.
First of all, I think you should know that there is a world of difference between 'theist' and 'creationist'...one of which I referred to, the other I did not. Complaining about creationism being ridiculed is on par with complaining if people in r/science ridicule and downmod someone seriously proposing that they have fairies in their garden. Would you be sitting here saying that r/science is bad for doing that though? Why the double standard?
Returning to what I actually said, however, There are routinely posts from theists and others asking questions of r/atheism, and they almost always get generally positive responses and upvotes. Here are two relatively recent ones that I've seen:
http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/a6gyr/theist_here/
http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/a320y/there_goes_all_my_karma_and_here_comes_the_troll/
These threads are generally what r/atheism is like when a dissenting submission is made from my experience.

[facepalm] so is just about EVERY subreddit. Who do you think gets favorable treatment on r/Christianity? r/geeks? r/redheads????
16
r/christianity yes it's just as bad(although non-believers are also trying to overrun it). r/geeks and r/redheads aren't for any kind of remotely serious debates. It's the politics and religion subreddits here that are circlejerks.

The sad thing is that most of the Redditors won't vote for this.
BUT, if we win, that would mean we were the "best community" according to the people we mock. So we really don't want to be best community do we?
8
I think circlejerk does an excellent job pointing out the flaws with reddit as a whole. I know that's not what most people post there for, but (with the exception of the fact that I had to unsubscribe since it is like a torrent of useless posts) some really insightful meta-discussion happens there. The mockery of circlejerk reminds me that I shouldn't ever take this place too seriously.
17
Who would have thought my bitter resentful sarcastic joke of a subreddit would soar to the heights of non-negative votes?
You are all gentlefolk and scholars!
In honor of this momentus occasion I'm holding a nomination for the Circlejerk Nomination community of the year nomination comment of the year!

It's the best community by definition. It really doesn't need any votes.

1
Reddit needs a "meh" button. Put it right between up and down.

I'm getting downvoted. . . I need some spies to go fix this!

The /r/food/ subreddit has been really great this year.

You know, it might not be the most novel subreddit up for consideration, but it's an excellent nomination. Great content, very active, enlightening discussions, positive community.

Possibly a strange suggestion, but it's got a marvelously strong community feel, and everyone is quite friendly.

I agree, it's a closely tied community whipped with enthusiasm!

kickme444 for http://www.reddit.com/r/secretsanta/

I don't see anywhere else that Kickme444 would get an award, so this would have to do.

Downvoting P-Dub should be illegal.

I think he is at the top of the page

One note here: The person who made that subreddit had very little to do with the Reddit Jet Blue Travel Project. If this wins, his_own should get the award. Not that the contributions of the subreddit creator are unappreciated, but I think his_own's role was the most important, since it was his idea and he took the lead in getting the funds together.
ETA: How do I make an underscore without making italics?

I'm also totally inept with a lot of computer stuff. I can program in basic and do 1990s-style HTML. That's it.

Secret santa
yeah its super cool, but it's only once a year.... I keep my christmas r/trees all year round
once a year ... you wish! Just wait.
I hope you aren't teasing me =(
Oh God!?! I'll fedex a case of Xanax to a P.O. Box for you to pick up.
i already have xanax, i am however very lacking in the tequilla department right now.
agreed. Secret santa has a deadline. /r/trees is here for you all year round. For a "community" r/trees is the the best group of randoms on the net. World Peace here we come!

Over 90% of North Americans consume caffeine everyday, meaning that over 90% of North Americans are physiologically addicted to the drug caffeine.
Let's not even get into sugar addictions, simple sugars are a powerful physiological addiction with some bad withdrawal.

Well I was going to suggest WATMM, but it ain't gonna get a look in after seeing Secret santa to be honest.
Didn't they win last year?
No rules about that
Doesn't mean you can't nominate it. What kind of musician looks at the possibility of failure as a reason not to do something? Cmon brother... I'll help you out.
Done :)
That's the Secret Santa spirit! HAHAHAHA...
The collective pissing on one troll was not in the spirit of the community and got way out of hand. That was very uncool.
Wherefore the downvotes? what fas2 said is pretty much true. Though Secret Santa is still my favorite Community of the Year.
Soooo glad this is already at the top !!!
